Having claimed our coveted Top Gear magazine Car of the Year award, the Ford Fiesta ST has fallen straight out of the after-party and into the Top Gear Garage. When we first got wind of the ST, we had our reservations. But then we drove it. Initially, we were cynical about the move to lop off a cylinder we were wrong. We were worried about them fattening it up by force-feeding tech down its throat we shouldn"t have been. See, over the last year, the little hot hatch has impressed us time and time again. It"s breezed a 1,700-mile road trip around Britain, seen off the likes of Porsche and Ferrari at our Performance Car of the Year and earned Chris Harris"s seal of approval. But now it"s got its biggest test yet: living with us rabble for six months. Snotty kids, airport runs, freezing winters, the occasional track day and many B-road thrashes EA68 CZX is going to have to deal with them all.
